Popped this in the player today. I love watching this show! This was one of my first productions, for a long-gone chap known as long_black_wavy_hair (he fell into the "Where Is He Now" category.) For as much praise as this got, I see a few things that could use improvement. Time for a remastering.

After a prolonged period of not working on any productions, I at last broke out the 'ol Ampex VTR machine (having to recalibrate it took hours alone) and am going to revisit some of my old works, beginning with one of my very first productions, the SRV "Live in Japan 1985" tape.

I have sunk a few days into it already. I thought I would be able to improve on a few areas, but now I am wondering if I am being far too nitpicky and if anyone would even notice the differences. So I have decided to present a "Pepsi challenge."

Two samples. One of them is my originally released production; the other is my new mastering. Even if you cannot tell them apart, which do you prefer?

they both look good IMO....crisp on the closeups, hardly any ghosting/haze on shots w/ back/side lights in the shot (like when Steve walks back towards the pedalboard and turns around to the audience) .....and the whites look white...(both his and Tommy's guitar straps)

It's your production, and I'm not gonna get out a microscope. Honestly, I looked at both several times.....and I'd be thrilled to see either one. I say don't beat yourself up on it, have a coke, and a smile.

I flipped a coin for my decision, but it rolled into the heating register and now resides in my basement ducts. Sorry.

One of the significant adjustments I made in codec settings occurs during the video rendering when the side spotlights are in the shot. Analog tape is the noisiest when it comes to reds and purples, especially in a high-intensity situation like those spotlights.

I also recall something about him having heart surgery, but he was still around after that. I think the last I heard, he was going somewhere to take care of a sick relative. I sent him one of the Zeppelin complete harddrives... I guess he didn't need to hang around after that.
